Abstract

This study tries to explore young learners' attitudes and motivation towards learning English via Dörnyei’s motivational self-system. Designed as a qualitative study, the study employs interview schedules and an observation checklist that were adopted from Dörnyei and Csizer (2006) and a questionnaire designed by Ryan (2005). The data collection tools were, then, developed by the advisor and the researcher of the study upon expert opinion. The study was carried out with 57 primary school second-grade students from a state primary school in both face-to-face and online settings. The data were analyzed by thematic content analysis and coding via the Nvivo program. According to the results of the study, a positive learning environment and activities are significant factors that have an impact on young learners' attitudes and motivation to learn English. Regardless of the teaching environment, students' attitudes were mainly positive towards learning English and they were intrinsically motivated. This is especially important in countries where English proficiency is not as high as expected.

Abstract

The very mentioning of verbal abuse is more likely to send the reader/listener to educational settings like the primary, middle, and high schools. Howbeit, it is rare to affiliate between this linguistic maltreatment and higher education settings. The aim of this study is to explore EFL university learners’ experiences of verbal abuse by means of investigating the various effects of verbal abuse on classroom participation, academic achievements and self-esteem. This study is based on the reflection of nine female master learners from the University of Mostaganem of their verbal abuse experiences. The data have been collected from a survey questionnaire that comprises different sections, involving closed and open-ended questions. The results showcase that learners tend to experience verbal abuse at the university, articulated by some teachers in a form of shaming and public criticizing, which mainly targets their “English language abilities”. As to its effects, it has been found that due to learners’ age (over 20years old), verbal abuse does not negatively affect learners’ motivation, self-esteem, and academic achievements; however, it tends to reduce their classroom participation rate.

Abstract

Abstract With the rapid globalization occurring all around the globe, educational landscapes also underwent some dramatic shifts in terms of teaching methods, policy-makers, and school culture. One of those indispensable trajectories that need to be taken into account by EFL educators is the pedagogical approach. Since learners no longer learn directly from one-on-one interaction with their teachers, it has been high time for educationalists to supersede their teaching-centered with the student-centered learning approach. In Indonesian EFL productive language learning contexts; speaking and writing, it is strongly believed that problem-based learning activities will enable learners to be more confident, autonomous, spirited, and proficient speakers as well as writers. This present qualitative study was plied in the support of document analysis by integrating 30 prior problem-based learning studies held in our archipelago in order to encourage Indonesian ELT experts, practitioners, and policy-makers to start to incorporate this student-centered learning approach in their both speaking and writing learning vicinities. The obtained results revealed 3 positive L2 productive language-learning merits potentially promoted by problem-based learning activities namely: 1) Learners can be more productive L2 academicians, (2) Learners transformed into more high quality and autonomous L2 writers, and (3) Learners progressively became more confident as well as proficient L2 speakers. Following all of these 3 core beneficial productive L2 learning values, contextual, hands-on, and pleasurable problem-based learning design should be well established at the commencement of speaking and writing learning activities to disseminate more holistic learning outcomes progressively for learners.

Abstract

The learning process in Indonesia has predominantly been conducted online since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This online learning mode has also influenced students’ motivation in learning, especially in comprehending reading texts. Considering that problem, the researchers sought to investigate how the students regulated their comprehension in reading during an online class. This research used a mixed-method. The questionnaires were distributed to 30 students and analyzed as quantitative data. Then, the researchers chose four students randomly for interview purposes. The interview transcript was used as qualitative data. In conclusion, not all of the students could regulate themselves in comprehending English text during the online class well. Based on the data, students who could regulate themselves in comprehending the English texts during online class should develop the following procedure: (1) implementing learning autonomy, (2) implementing learning focus, and (3) using critical thinking. Meanwhile, students who could not regulate themselves well were inclined to perform minimally. Since students had different ways to regulate themselves, the teacher needed to monitor the students in online learning process so that the students could achieve a meaningful learning process. To improve students’ regulation in reading comprehension, the teacher can implement suitable learning activities.

This study investigates teacher discourse and teacher-student discourse that occurs in the classroom interaction. Through this explanation of critical discourse analysis, the researcher proposes to distribute the concepts of classroom interaction between teacher and students, the use of the teacher’s language, and the use of the teacher’s power. This explains the role of the power of using language in classroom interactions to create good learning characteristics and outcomes. The analysis of this research is based on the theory of discourse analysis which focuses on the topic of language taken from Fairclough's theory and the types of power by French and Raven (1959). The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative research method that deals with data in the form of words from interviews and questionnaires. The results showed that the teacher’s language in classroom interaction is used not only to interact with the students but also to provide the materials and information, to give instruction, and to train the students’ skills. The power with the highest frequency of use produced by the teacher during the learning process is expert power, reward power, referent power, legitimate power and the last is coercive power.

Abstract

In second language teaching and learning, making errors is inevitable as language learning requires a lot of cognitive effort and concentration on the part of learners. Understanding the types and frequencies of student errors is, therefore, an important issue for ESL and EFL teachers to determine how students can be helped to improve their skills through instruction. This case study focuses on the frequency and types of errors and aims to identify any possible relationship between learner-based errors and the perceived cognitive load of the student. Data was received through 36 essays written by an adult learner of English who received 104 hours of formal instruction. The instruction was designed pursuing Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), and corrective feedback was provided. At the end of each month, a subjective cognitive load scale was applied to identify the perceived cognitive load of the learner. Errors were regarded as indicators of the student’s developmental competence and were analyzed not as a failure but as a sign in reflecting the learner’s progress. The results revealed that an improvement in the writings of the learner can be observed when the perceived cognitive load of the learner is lowered in the second language learning process.

Abstract

This article investigates the pedagogical benefits of smartphones as a form of mobile learning in English language classes. This study which stems from the experience of the author as a teacher of English at the university seeks two main aims: shedding light on learners’ perceptions and awareness of the pedagogical usages of smartphones and exploring learners’ usages of cellphones inside and outside the classroom settings. To rigorously explore the afore-mentioned aims, a survey questionnaire had been administered to 18 Master students of English Didactics and Applied Languages, Mostaganem University). The analysis of the collected data revealed that the use of smartphones for pedagogical purposes is obstructed by various hindrances that emanate from learners’ unawareness of their academic usages and teachers’ negative attitudes towards them.
